Homo Happiness.

Probably rineteen-twentieths of the
happiness you will ever have you will get
at home. The independence that comes
to man when his work is over, and he
feels that he has run out of the storm In.
to the quiet harbor of home, where he
can rest in peace with his family is some
thing real. 1t does not make much differ
ence whether it is your own house, or
you have one little room in that house :;
you can make that little room a home to
you You can people it with such
moods, you can turn it to such sweet
fancies, that it will be fairly luminous
with their presence, and 1t will be to you
the very perfection of home. Against
this home none of you should ever trans
gress. You should always treat each 9TH
er with courtesy 1t is often not so diff
flcult to love each other as it is to be cour-
teous to each. Courtesy is of greater
value and more royal grace than some
people seem to think. If you viii but be
courteous to each other, you will soon
learn to love each other more wisely pro-
foundly, not to say lastingly, than you
ever did before
The Somerset reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1868-1909, 1887-11-23

No,o is the time to organize and act to-
gether Every farmer and farmers wife,
son and daughter, needs the kindly Offices
and helpful privileges of the Grange
Why stand ye here idle outside the gates?
The New England farmers are undoubt-
edly the most enterprising and emerge tic
of the Granger fraternity on this CONT
nent, comparing well in progressive spirit
and action with their ingenious brethren
in other respects. They cultivate the
least productive natural soil, combat with
the most rigorous climate, and yet by
dint of industry and skill their labors an
nualy produce tho most liberal returns.
When the farmer shall be brought to a
full realization of the immense power and
benefit of the three words association,
cooperation, education" then will he be
given the proper station that he is entitled
to among his fellow men.
This seems to be the day of association,
cooperation and corporation 1t seems
that the farmer is almost the last person
to call to his aid this immense power in
the management of his domestic economy.
